Chest CT shows herniation of mesenteric fat and a loop of colon into the left hemithorax through a diaphragmatic defect located lateral and anterior to the esophageal hiatus, following a transhiatal esophagectomy.
Key takeaways
Herniation of abdominal contents through a diaphragmatic defect distinct from the esophageal hiatus is a recognized complication of transhiatal esophagectomy, requiring surgical reduction and closure.
